Candle Percentage

How it works

The script analyzes each candlestick by calculating the percentage movement of its body from open to close using the formula: (Body Size / Open Price) * 100. It determines the candle's direction by comparing the opening and closing prices, with green labels indicating bullish candles and red labels indicating bearish candles.

Users can customize the label size, choosing from options like Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, and Huge. The default setting is Normal, allowing traders to adjust the visibility and prominence of the percentage movement label according to their preference and chart complexity.

Why it may be useful

This signal provides traders with an immediate visual representation of price movement intensity within each candlestick, helping them quickly assess market sentiment and momentum. By highlighting the percentage change, traders can rapidly identify significant price shifts and potential trend strength without complex calculations.

The color-coded labels offer an intuitive way to distinguish between bullish and bearish candles, enabling traders to rapidly scan charts and recognize patterns of price action. This approach simplifies market analysis and helps traders make faster, more informed decisions about potential trading opportunities.

When to explore it

This signal is most effective in volatile markets where price movements are significant and traders need rapid insights into market sentiment. It works particularly well for short-term trading strategies like scalping and day trading, where quick assessment of price action is crucial.

Traders can benefit from this signal across various timeframes and asset classes, from stocks and forex to cryptocurrencies. It is especially useful during periods of market uncertainty, earnings releases, economic announcements, or when analyzing multiple charts simultaneously where quick visual cues can provide valuable trading insights.
